Define as the development of new types of organisms from preexisting types of organisms over time
What is evolution
100
Defined as any remains or traces of an organism that died long ago
What is a fossil
100
The three categories that provide evidence for evolution
What are comparative anatomy, molecular comparisons (DNA), and fossil records.
100
Explain what a cladogram is and what is shows.
A cladogram is a "tree of life" that shows evolutionary relationships between species or organisms. They can be used to show how recently species DIVERGED from common ancestors.

Who is the weirdest science teacher?
Mr. Harrington
200
The elimination of a species
What is Extinction
200
Defined as the study of development
What is embryology
200
Defined as the study of locations of organisms around the world. Latin prefix for "life" and the word for study of location.
What is biogeography
200
What species is MOST CLOSELY related to Chimpanzees? How do you know? 
a Mouse. It is the species that most RECENTLY shares a root on the cladogram with chimpanzees.
200
How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could actually chuck wood?
700 lbs, actually. Its based on how much dirt a wood chuck can dig in a day.
300
These rock layers hold fossils, the oldest being at the bottom
What are strata
300
Define "vestigial structure" and give an example in humans.
What is a structure that no longer has a purpose, but once did. appendix, coccyx, ear muscles, hair standing muscles, little toe, wisdom teeth, tonsils
300
What evidence supports the hypothesis that whales evolved from land-dwelling mammals?
What is comparative anatomy - homologous structures
300
Which Species on the cladogram ALL have Lungs? 
Salamanders, Lizards, Pigeons, Mouse, and chimps
300
I appear 4 times in Mississippi, 1 time in Fire, but I never come in a second. What am I?
the letter I.
400
Evolution is an example of which type of science concept? Hypothesis, Theory, Law?
Theory
400
Define homologous structures and provide an example.
Structures found in different species that originated from a structure in a common ancestor of the 2 species. Bird wing/Human Arm/Whale Fin/Crocodile Arm/Cat Leg/Bat Wing
400
This evidence for evolution is called
Embryology
400
Hagfish are distantly related to modern day salamanders and lizards. What trait(s) separates Hagfish from both Salamanders and Lizards? 
Jaws AND lungs
400
Remains of ancient species that have been preserved.
What is a fossil
500
Why do we say that individuals cannot evolve, only populations evolve?
An individual cannot change it's DNA significantly through the course of its life... but over many generations, their offspring can acquire new mutations and change drastically.
500
Define analogous structures and provide an example
Structures that are found in different species, have similar functions but did not originate from a common ancestor
Bird wings/Insect Wings
500
Fly embryos and frog embryos differ from each other more than frog embryos and ape embryos do. What does this imply about how these groups may be related?
What is Frogs and apes are more closely related than are frogs and flies
500
What does the "root" between Perches and Salamanders represent? Why is it important?
A "root" represents a COMMON ANCESTOR. its important because it shows that there was an INTERMEDIATE species that evolved into both of the modern day species.
Thus, we cannot say that Salamanders evolved from perches... They just share a common ancestor.
